Sidney Davis is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, since Fall 2022. He holds a Dual B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from Tarleton State University, where his research focused on experimental ion beam analysis and various forms of mathematical, physics, and disease modeling.
Currently, Sidney’s research is centered on the hypervelocity impact response of aerospace composite materials, employing a combined experimental and computational approach. He has experience running finite element and hydrocodes to study the response of composites, metals, and other materials under hypervelocity impact conditions. Additionally, Sidney is working on advancing high-rate diagnostic techniques to measure critical parameters in high-rate impacts and hypersonics.
